Times change. It wasn't that long ago that if you owned a set of oxy-acetylene gas bottles for welding and cutting you would be considered to have a pretty well-equipped home shop. Maybe you ...

In the tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding process, an electric arc is struck between a refractory electrode made of tungsten and the work piece, while a shroud of inert gas, usually argon, shields the ...

Arc welding using the Metal filler wire as consumable electrode and an Inert Gas to protect the molten pool against oxidation. Figure 1. Schematic of the MIG welding process. In the metal inert gas ...

TIG welding isn't rocket science, it's actually closer to metallurgy. We get it. Most hobbyists are at the limit of their comfort zone with MIG welding, and mostly in non-critical areas at that. Our ...

Although some engineers have had success in spot welding steel and aluminum together, it has largely been considered impossible to achieve reliable, continuous welds directly between the two ...

Although weight savings is a multifaceted topic, perhaps the most interesting area of development is in weight savings to the body and frame of vehicles. In August 2012, the federal government ...
